WestJet says its operations have “stabilized” after a strike by its unionized airline mechanics over the Canada Day weekend disrupted travel plans for thousands of passengers.

The Calgary-based airline is projecting “minimal” cancellations due to the strike, with eight scheduled for July 4 and none expected July 5 thus far.
